Okayyyy...on to Chapter 6!
Oh my God... Marta thought to herself as she climbed off her trampoline and ran toward her house. I am the worst friend in the world.
She walked up to her room and laid down on her bed and stared at the ceiling. She felt sick. Everything made sense now. Why she suddenly liked Science class, why she stayed up later than usual to talk on AIM, why she's thinking about Leonard less and less, why she always seems to be feeling happy... She felt so guilty because she knew deep down that Zack liked her too. SHE was the reason that her best friend in the whole world was feeling so low right now. SHE was the one that Zack liked...and she liked him back. She reached over and turned the radio on. Music always made Marta feel better, she loved it more than anything in the world. She closed her eyes and thought about what to do next. It's not fair, she thought, Katie liked him first, I can't take him away from her.... She opened her eyes suddenly and sat up on her bed. But he doesn't like her! She laid back down. She felt like crying.
After about an hour, Marta got up and walked downstairs.
"What's wrong, honey? You look a little sick" Marta's mom asked her.
Wow, Marta thought, how does she always know?. She quickly put on a fake smile. "Nothing, mom," she said and walked down to the basement.
She moved the mouse to get out of standby mode on her computer. She had an away message up on AIM. She looked at her buddy list and saw that Katie was on. She clicked on her profile.
You know, I'm the one that you can talk to
Sometimes, you tell me things that I don't wanna know
I just want to hold you
You say, exactly how you feel about her
I wonder, could you ever think of me that way....
:'-(
Marta's heart sank. She couldn't believe this was happening.
Monday morning at school, Marta sat in the cafeteria and waited for her friends to get there. Katie walked in, sat down, and dropped a piece of paper in front of Marta. "What's this?" Marta asked.
"Read it," Katie said, a little coldly.
Marta looked at it, it was an AIM conversation between Katie and Gordon Baxter, one of Zack's close friends.
rockergirl22: hey, what's up?
gordonator43: nm, u?
rockergirl22: i have to ask you something...but PLEASE just keep it between us
gordonator43: sure, anything
rockergirl22: okay, you're good friends with Zack, right?
gordonator43: yep, why?
rockergirl22: okay...do you happen to know who he likes?
gordonator43: yea...but you can't tell anyone I told you
rockergirl22: promise
gordonator43: okay, it's marta hale
rockergirl22: what?
gordonator43: i know, i didn't even know they knew each other that well
rockergirl22: are you absolutely certain?
gordonator43: yea, he told me yesterday
gordonator43: don't tell him i told you!!
rockergirl22: i won't...thanks
rockergirl22: i gtg, later
"Oh God," Marta whispered. "Katie I'm so sorry."
Katie looked like she was about to cry. "Marta, it's not your fault, I'm just kinda glad it's you because I know you wouldn't go out with him because you like Leonard." She paused. "...right?"
"Um....yea, sure," Marta said quietly. Marta had never lied to her best friend before. She was already hurt enough, she couldn't possibly tell her she liked him back...at least not yet.
The morning announcements said that there would be an assembly in the auditorium about the end of the year field trip. The kids all headed to their assigned seats in the auditorium. After everyone was seated, the principal got up to speak.
"This year for the end of the year trip, the student council voted on a short cruise on the river in the afternoon, and a dance on the boat for the evening," the principal said.
Oh, perfect, thought Marta, a dance...
The principal continued. "The trip will be on Thursday, June 5. It will start after school and the buses will arrive back around 11." He continued on for a few minutes with more details about the trip.
After the meeting, everyone got up and walked back to their homerooms. As Marta walked down the hall, she passed Zack. Her eyes suddenly lit up, but then she realized it and started to feel worse than before. He smiled at her as he walked past.
Could this day get any worse?
...or better?
(A/N): Sorry, this chapter kind of sucks, lol. I hope you will review anyway! I will update ASAP. This chapter was a bit hard to write, but the rest should come a little easier. Thanks for reading!
